Although the Assassin's face had been blurred by the knife, the Hunters quickly recognized that the Assassin was not someone else. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is actually Hu Qin, the deputy head of the Yamen Capture Fast in Qinghe County!

Early in the morning, Hu Qin, who was the head of the county government and usually looked very respectful in front of the county master, would sneak into the backyard of the yamen and assassinate the county master?

And who is the person who secretly released a flying knife to shoot him and wanted to shoot Wu Song at the same time?

All this, for what?

The discovery of the assassin in the prefect's mansion was a shocking event for Qinghe County. All the officials were about to end their original work or vacation, and rushed to the county government one after another, and immediately strengthened the guards.

After the guards were strengthened, the county magistrate Xu Enzeng wore underwear and came out of the backyard, and the county queen Jiang and the lord Bo Huangli, as well as Ma Jian Ma Kui, who was in charge of the yamen's archives and other affairs, and some other staff officials, also rushed to the scene from the left and right wings.

Xu Enzeng was not injured, but he was surprised, and when he knew that the assassin was actually Hu Qin, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and scolded: "Dog thief! Sure enough, it's a dog thief who can't be raised! ”

After scolding angrily, the magistrate asked how Hu Qin died, and Wu Song told Fang Cai's situation one by one. When Xu Enzeng heard this, he was both shocked and annoyed, hated Hu Qin and praised Wu Song, and said, "Okay, good! It's all thanks to you this time, if it's inconvenient to let this dog thief run away, where can you find someone? This fight is innocent! Wu Er, according to your analysis, who is the person who is hiding in the dark and firing the flying knife? Why did you do this to you and Hu Qin? ”

Wu Song did not answer immediately.

Before the crossing, Wu Song was not a detective fan, and he didn't like to watch those detective things that were too brain-burning, so he didn't actually have much detective knowledge, and it was even more impossible to solve cases in ancient times with modern criminal investigation technology as some time-traveling novels said.

Now, he has just crossed over, and he is still familiar with this world, and according to the records in the book of his previous life, Wu Song himself is not a detective expert, and his main skill is still to be able to fight. Therefore, now when it comes to this kind of big case, Wu Song also feels a little at a loss.

After thinking about it, he could only rely on his common sense to deduce: "My lord, this person hiding in the shadows is strong in martial arts and has a hidden weapon, so it should have been prepared for a long time, so it cannot be ruled out that he knew Hu Qin's actions in advance, and he was Hu Qin's accomplice." If so, then he assassinated Hu Qin, probably in order to kill him; And at the same time, he fired throwing knives at me, which may be a good thing to hate me for ruining him. What is the specific situation, we still need to investigate and analyze again! ”

Xu Enzeng nodded and said, "Your analysis is reasonable." Wu Er, the official only said that you have a few catties of strength, so he promoted you to be a fast catcher, it turns out that you have a good brain, and the dog thief hiding in the dark must have nothing to do with Hu Qin! ”

As he spoke, he immediately sent an order: "Quick, send me the Turkish army, immediately block the city gate, strictly check the entry and exit of personnel, and search for thieves throughout the city!" ”

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Turkish army belonged to the local security forces, which were set up during the time of Shenzong and were subordinate to the inspection departments of various places; Originally, he was a servant, and he served as a servant in turn, and later changed to hire and recruit people, and was subordinate to the county lieutenants.

Since the departure of the previous county lieutenant, the current county lieutenant of Qinghe County has been personally concurrently served by Xu Enzeng, the county magistrate. Immediately after he gave the order, an official rushed to dispatch the Turkish army. Note: After sealing the city gates and strictly controlling the entry and exit of people, the Turkish soldiers had to go door-to-door in the city and arrest anyone suspicious.

At this time, Huang Li, the chief bookkeeper, was obviously surprised when he saw that the assassin was actually Hu Qin, and said, "I really can't think of it, how can it be this guy?" Is he crazy? Or was he framed。。。。。。 ”

Xu Enzeng was furious and scolded: "Nonsense! Hu Qin, a dog thief with a sharp blade, sneaked into the mansion of the official, intending to assassinate the official, but fortunately, although the official was a civil official, he also learned a little self-defense and was not succeeded by him. The facts are right in front of you, how can someone still frame them? ”

Huang Li sneered and said: "Since this guy was not framed by someone, is it because he feels that the county magistrate usually treats him harshly, so he holds a grudge?" Otherwise, how could he, who is usually diligent and diligent, dare to suddenly assassinate the county lord? ”

What he said seemed to be just speculating on the facts of the case, but in fact, one was to exonerate Hu Qin, who had died, and the other was to imply that Xu Enzeng was usually mean to the deceased, and he was pushing the responsibility on Xu Enzeng himself.

In fact, in the Qinghe County Ya, the chief bookkeeper Huang Li relied on his brother-in-law to be a local family surnamed Zhang, and he represented the local forces in the yamen, so he never took the foreign county magistrate Xu Enzeng in his eyes, which was not too secret.

A year ago, after the former county lieutenant left, Zhang Dahu originally wanted to let one of his cousins replace him, but Xu En was worried that the local forces would become stronger and he would completely lose control of Qinghe, so he resolutely refused to allow it.

So, half a year ago, Zhang Dahu and Wang Zhubo secretly set a trap to lure the head of the county yadu who was inclined to support Xu Enzeng to go to Qinglou, and was arrested on the spot, forcing him to abdicate, wanting to take the opportunity to push Hu Qin, who is also a local faction, to the position of the head of the capital, so that at least they can control the yamen to arrest Kuai (equivalent to the public security bureau in later generations) and empty part of Xu Enzeng's power.

However, Xu Enzeng resolutely resisted and refused to let Hu Qin turn positive immediately.

These are not any secrets among the county officials.

At this time, Huang Li was also confused about why Hu Qin, who had originally obeyed his orders, suddenly went to assassinate Zhixian County, and who wanted to kill him, and was eager to know the truth.

But in the past year, in the process of wrestling with the magistrate, he and the local forces he represented have frequently missed and temporarily lost the upper hand, so he was really annoyed in his heart, and he couldn't help but seize this opportunity and sneer at the magistrate.

It was naturally impossible for Xu Enzeng not to hear the meaning of his words, but this made Xu Enzeng forcibly suppress his anger. Dealing with this kind of villain, there is naturally no need to be angry.

He said coldly: "Master Wang, please talk in front of this official or have you thought too much." This official did not agree to promote Hu Qin to be the head of the capital, and now this dog thief is so bold and reckless, plotting to assassinate this official, which proves that this official did not look away that day, how could this official treat him harshly? But it is your king who has recommended him many times. Can the official say that your king has a conspiracy with him? ”

When Huang Li heard this, he immediately jumped up and shouted, "How could I have conspired with Hu Qin's guy? I'm wondering why this bastard is so crazy all of a sudden! I recommended him to be the head of the capital that day, purely because he was serious and experienced, which is also what everyone in the yamen sees. I have nothing to do with Hu Qin! Master Zhixian, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! ”

Xu Enzeng snorted coldly: "What? If you are allowed to talk nonsense, you are not allowed to talk about it? ”

Huang Li hurriedly said: "Lord Zhixian, you can learn from this, I didn't talk nonsense, I just speculated." He turned to look at Empress Jiang, who had not spoken, and tried to seek Empress Jiang's support, and said, "Lord Jiang, you also heard it, didn't you?" ”

Jiang was expressionless behind him.
